I keep 10-2 1/2 gallon gas cans full in the garage and label the cans with the date. I use the oldest first when I run my lawn mower, wood splitter, or ATV. If the gas sits there for to long, it goes in my truck or RV and I get new gas.
I do the same at my cabin in the Adirondacks. We have a 1960 gas driven generator with a four-cylinder water-cooled Continental gas engine. 17 KW output. We keep six, 5 gallon cans of gasoline there and rotate them once a year. We dump the old gas in our van or car - and refill the cans. Never had any issues with bad gas but I DO use Stabil.
By the way. I've got a 1979 Datsun 280ZX that I took off the road when my last child was born 9 years ago. It sat for 7 years with the original tank of gasoline in it. I thought for sure that gas would of turned to varnish. I wanted to drain it but I could not fish a siphon down the filler neck. When that tank of gas hit the 7 year mark - I stuck a battery in the car and it fired right up! I was amazed. I'm not sure if I should credit Stabil or the weird German half-pulse fuel injection systems (Jet-Tronic). After it ran and I figured it was NOT yet a lost cause - I jacked the Z up in air and removed the tank filler neck. I then drained it and that gas was dark brown and looked something awful.
